About the Artist:Lynda Howard

Having spent a lifetime learning how to use a needle, and always being interested in learning new skills, I was introduced to beading about 20 years ago. At the time it was quite unusual in the UK but becoming increasingly popular, as at the time it was taking the US by storm. I was hooked, and joined the beadworkers guild when it began over here. Over the years I have been a member of beading groups, and we have exhibited our work. I have taught others to enjoy the craft over the last 15yrs, and still I learn more very time I start a new piece of work.
